Why organizers move to Hi.Events

We’ve used Hi.Events now for a few events and really love it. It’s also been fun to see improvements roll out as we go. We’re definitely never going back to Eventbrite.

§ 04 · FAQ

Before you switch

How do the fees compare?
DICE publishes default rates in its self sign-up terms: 13% in the US with payment processing included, 8.5% (minimum £1) plus a 2.5% transaction fee in the UK, and 6.3% (A$1 to A$5) plus a 1.95% transaction fee in Australia, before VAT or GST. European rates vary by country, and venues on a partnership deal negotiate their own. Hi.Events charges 1.25% plus a small fixed amount per paid ticket: 60¢ in the US, €0.50 in the EU, 45p in the UK, A$0.85 in Australia, with Stripe's card rate paid separately. You can pass our fee to buyers or absorb it; DICE builds its fees into one all-in price.See pricing →DICE fees explained →
Do my fans need to download an app?
No. Tickets arrive by email with a QR code and open in any browser. You scan them at the door with the check-in app.
When do I get paid?
You connect your own Stripe account and card payments settle into it directly as tickets sell. We never hold your money.Connecting Stripe →
Can I move my events over?
Yes. Recreating an event takes a few minutes, then you point your links at the new page. Existing orders stay where they are while new sales run through Hi.Events.
Does Hi.Events have a discovery app like DICE?
No. Hi.Events sells tickets from your own event page, your website or your socials, and you keep the fee difference to spend on your own promotion.
Is Hi.Events really open source?
Yes, under the AGPL licence. Most organizers use the hosted version so they never touch a server, but the code is public and you can self-host it if you prefer.View on GitHub →
